Fresh pop culture quotes for modern weddings

Writers have a wonderful gift for putting what’s in our hearts on to paper. They can be deep, quirky, funny, sentimental and, ultimately, supremely romantic. Often, people turn to classic sources such as Khalil Gibran when looking for gorgeous quotes to feature everywhere from ceremony programs to seating charts, but we think there’s just as much wonderful emotion to be found in modern pop culture. Here are some wonderful examples from books, TV shows and movies to get you started…

Ted Moseby, How I Met Your Mother,

There are two big days in any love story – the day you meet the girl of your dreams and the day you marry her.

Neil Gaiman, Stardust

Every lover is, in his heart, a madman, and, in his head, a minstrel.

Arwen, The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring

I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.

Wesley, The Princess Bride

Do I love you? My god, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches.

Olaf, Frozen

Some people are worth melting for.

Peeta Mellark, The Hunger Games

Remember, we’re madly in love; so it’s alright to kiss me anytime you feel like it.

Julia Roberts

True love doesn’t come to you, it has to be inside you.

Noah, The Notebook

I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who’s ever lived; I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough.
